[Outdated] Site/Forum Suggestions, Maintenance, and Discussion

[Amethyst]

The update I'm referring to was from IPB 2.x to the current 3.x, which has since been out for years. The situation might change when 4.x is released, but that won't be soon.

I've been loyal to IPB for upwards of a decade, but I've gotta say I'm not terribly impressed with their recent performance in the market, especially compared to stuff like vBulliten which appears to remain strong.

That said, switching over would be... a literal nightmare, particularly converting the database, which would either be extraordinarily difficult, or outright impossible.

Edited OP because there's too many people who have two trainer cards in their signatures.

This is probably people who added a Trainer Card manually to their signature without realizing it gets automagically stuck there. (Which I'd prefer it doesn't, especially considering League isn't around anymore).

That's what I refer to. People aren't aware that trainer cards are automagically added to their signatures.

Cleaned up the OP and added a spoiler tag for previous suggestions.

As staff, my message limit is apparently only 50 and even after deleting some stuff, I am still at max capacity (Ace/global mod is 200 messages, isn't it?).

And I was able to get pm's to and from people before I even noticed this.

halp?

[Arkhi]

(Ace/global mod is 200 messages, isn't it?)

Yup.

(Ace membership messenger storage)

I guess this is technically a suggestion, though it seems like a bug.

Edited the OP.

[Maelstrom]

True.

[Amethyst]

Fixed.

[Arkhi]

Is there some way to show the signatures of other users once you have selected to not show them?
If not, I'll add it to the bugs section.

[Ikaru]

Sorry to use you as an example, but yes:

[Arkhi]

Oh yeah, that's a thing. Thanks!

[Arkhi]

So, fixing the birthday's tab currently isn't possible, but I'll edit the OP to include it in case miracles do come true.

Edit: Found a thing. Added to the OP.

On Reborn Showdown. Whenever you enter a battle, whether you are battling or just spectating, there is no notification that you have entered or left. I really think it should b dealt with, as in special tourneys like Theme Tours, where spectators are only allowed in the final round. It's really annoying D: started when we updated.

[Arkhi]

I don't think any of us have the power to change that.

[Sonikku]

Well I mean I didn't expect immediate help for Reborn, maybe we can take it up to the peeps at showdown. Why did they remove it I wonder?

[Deleted User]

It's been noted by Dan, me, as well as others. It's definitely on the To-Do list to look into.

[Arkhi]

So, member signatures can be disabled, but they can still be irritating, especially when they exceed, as Ame said in some rules somewhere (I can't find them right now), two trainer card's length. Is this enforced?

I've seen, -A- warning for it. But I don't know how strictly that's followed. I haven't had sigs on for over a year.

[Amethyst]

It needs to be. Do we say normal users can report others for signature violations, just on any post?

[Ikaru]

It's as simple as adding a [scroll] tag, so why not? Should we just make it a verbal warning (i.e. 0 points)?

Well if we're asking users to report this sort of thing, I'd recommend advising them to click the infractor's Profile and report it from there.

[Arkhi]

There would need to be a notice (Mews & Announcements?) for members to not only edit their profiles if their signatures are too long, but also to report others who haven't. Or the rules could be edited further. Still, people would need to be informed somehow.

it has been for a while already....

you can warn from profiles? o-o

[Ikaru]

A little like this?

EDIT: oh, so it is. okay then.

[Arkhi]

Bottom right, outside of the lighter shade of gray. It's hidden, so it's tricky to see.

That's exactly what I referred to. I couldn't find that for whatever reason yesterday.
